Chapter 137: Could it be that Shi Shen doesn’t know this either?
Seeing Aunt Lu’s attitude, Yang Niannian and Lu Shi Shen didn’t get angry, but Guan Ailian was furious. “Damn it, if I were the one running this house, she wouldn’t even be allowed to step foot in the door.”
“Big Sister, let’s not bother with her. Come with me to the west room, I bought some good things.” Yang Niannian was too lazy to get angry over Aunt Lu.
She pulled Guan Ailian into the west room and took out candy and snacks from the fabric. She peeled a milk candy and put it in Lu Bao Bao’s mouth.
Smiling, she asked, “Is it sweet?” Lu Bao Bao, with candy in his mouth, nodded, “Sweet.” The rich milky flavor spread in his mouth, the more he ate, the tastier it became. His eyes lit up. This was the first time he had eaten milk candy, it was tastier than pork.
Guan Ailian was shocked. She put the child down and said nervously, “Oh, Sister-in-law, you bought so many things, how much did it cost?”
Yang Niannian said nonchalantly, “It’s rare for us to come back, it’s only right to spend a little money.” She took out the candy and snacks and put them on the bed.
“Big Sister, these milk candies are for our own children. If any children come to play tomorrow, give them fruit candies. The snacks and fabric are also for you. Don’t be polite with me, this is our gift from me and Shi Shen.” Yang Niannian wasn’t a living Buddha, nor did she have a universal heart. Milk candy was more precious than meat.
She didn’t want to be indebted to people who weren’t related to her. Guan Ailian was embarrassed to accept so many things. She wanted to refuse, but seeing that the things were already bought, she didn’t refuse anymore. “
Sister-in-law, I’ll accept these things. You can’t spend so much next time you come back. You’ve now started your own little family, there will be more places to spend money in the future. You can’t just keep supporting us.
Mom and Dad also have money, you don’t need to send them money. Just live your own little life.” “Okay.” Yang Niannian nodded in agreement.
Lu Shi Shen stood aside without speaking. He didn’t interfere in the matters between his sister-in-law and his wife. Guan Ailian thought of something and quickly asked, “Are you hungry? I left some food for you in the kitchen.”
Yang Niannian shook her head, “We had noodles in town.” Guan Ailian was about to say something when Lu Bao Bao grabbed her hand again, wanting milk candy. She peeled one and put it in his mouth. “You can’t eat any more after this.”
There were three children in the family, they couldn’t give all the snacks to one child. Besides, good things shouldn’t be eaten all at once.
If they weren’t careful, no matter how much they had, it wouldn’t be enough. She didn’t spoil her children, so the child obediently nodded, but his eyes couldn’t help but shine at the milk candy. “Has Big Brother come back yet?” Lu Shi Shen asked.
“He went to his uncle’s house.
He didn’t come back for lunch. I guess his uncle kept him for dinner.
” Guan Ailian said.
While she said he was kept for dinner, they all knew that it was most likely because Ma Xiuzhu had complained, and Lu Qingyuan was kept to be lectured. Lu Shi Shen was silent for a while, then said to Yang Niannian, “I’ll go to my uncle’s house and see.
” Yang Niannian nodded, “Go ahead.” Guan Ailian was a little worried, “Maybe wait a little longer. I think he should be back soon.” Knowing what she was worried about, Yang Niannian comforted her, “Big Sister, don’t worry, he can handle it.”
Then, she winked at Lu Shi Shen, “Be careful, don’t scare your uncle.” Lu Shi Shen nodded calmly and turned to leave. Guan Ailian wanted to chase after him, but she felt she couldn’t persuade him. She anxiously said to Yang Niannian, “Oh, our mother must be making a scene at my uncle’s house. If Shi Shen goes, what if his uncle makes things difficult for him?
” Yang Niannian didn’t care and smiled, “Big Sister, don’t worry. Shi Shen’s temper is well-known. Nobody dares to put on airs in front of him.”
She pulled at the fabric on the bed, “Look at the fabric I bought, do you like it?” Hearing her say this, Guan Ailian thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be true. All women like to wear new clothes, and Guan Ailian was no exception.
But now, the people’s living standards were generally low. She was already content with being able to eat enough to not be hungry and live in a red brick and green tile house. She had several children at home. Even if she had money, she would think about buying clothes for her children, where would she think about herself? Now, looking at the beautiful new fabric, she was so moved that her eyes turned red. She happily held the fabric and compared it to her body, discussing with Yang Niannian what kind of clothes would look good.
After being happy for a while, Guan Ailian suddenly remembered something important. She worriedly asked, “Sister-in-law, I heard that Shi Shen adopted a child in the army. Is the child under Shi Shen’s name? Now the country advocates the policy of having fewer children but better care. If the child is under Shi Shen’s name, you can’t have any more children.
Otherwise, Shi Shen won’t be able to stay in the army.”
Yang Niannian was surprised and exclaimed, “Ah?” She did know about this policy, but did it also apply to adoption? Seeing her expression, Guan Ailian immediately understood, “You don’t know about this? Oh, Shi Shen probably doesn’t know either.
I’ll have to talk to him about it later.” In Guan Ailian’s mind, if a couple could have children, they should definitely have their own.
No matter how good someone else’s child is, they’re not blood related. Besides, her brother and sister-in-law were a perfect match. It would be a waste of such good genes not to have children. Yang Niannian shook her head. Her mood suddenly became complicated.
Did Lu Shi Shen know about this?
He definitely wouldn’t leave the army, and An An couldn’t be sent away. Although she didn’t want to have children so soon, she still looked forward to having a child of their own with Lu Shi Shen. Seeing Yang Niannian’s bad complexion, Guan Ailian suddenly regretted being too quick to speak.
It would be more appropriate for her brother and sister-in-law to talk about this.
